Question

Showing faster with the second pregnancy?

Share

I am 5 weeks prgnant and I am showing so much faster than I did if my first one. I know you that you usually show faster with the second one but I didn't think it was this fast. I have already grown into a new bra size and my pants are snug. Could I be further along?

I am 9 weeks pregnant and am thinking it's time to move into some maternity clothes. I didn't wear maternity clothes until I was six months last time! It's a little depressing- but I'm super excited to be having another baby! It will all be worth it when I can feel the baby moving!

My mom and sister kept telling me it was all in my head or that I was just eating too much or "not sucking in" when I told them I thought I had a little bulge already at 5 weeks. I found out on July 21st 3 years that I was pregnant with my 2 1/2 yo, and found out on July 21st that I'm preggers again. With my first, I did have to wear maternity clothes until the 5th month or so (but I could still wear my regular pants if I unbuttoned them :) ) I already feel like some of my shorts are tight, so I had to go out and buy some maternity shorts so I will have them when I need them. I didn't even need maternity shorts last time...just pants :) Glad I'm not the only one with a little baby bulge at 5 weeks :)

Me too!! I am 5 weeks going on 6 weeks and feel huge. Muscular build and didnt show till 5 months last time. This time I look like I have a beer belly and boobs are killing. Had no issues, symptons, sickness, constipation with the first one but WOW, second time around is a total different story. Already in my "bigger bras" that I had for my first pregnancy. Feel better that everyone else is showing or just feels "fat/thick". Crazy how a womans body change so quickly. Loose clothes till we can tell! Looks like I will be hitting the maternity clothes sooner than I thought. Ready for cooler weather and sweaters!!

Same with me. I'm 7 weeks and look like I did when I was 3 months pregnant with my first. I exercise a lot and though that if I got my stomach flat again, which I did, I wouldn't have this issue, but I guess the uterus has got to do what it has to do!!

I am about 5wks and i am already showing also i thought i was just bloating unitl i ewad another site and seen that it was normal to get bigger with every pregnancy after the first....thank and gud luck ladies

I am 7 weeks prego and on second child. The first I really did not start showing until I was five months. I have had to buy a new bra this time already. my chest is grown so much but I am still in my jeans but a little bloated.

I just read on a website that by 5-6 weeks, women can easily grow a full bra size! Sadly, I am almost 7 weeks and flat as a board... lucky you :) As far as showing faster, this is my second and I haven't noticed anything. It could be bloating that is making your pants snug? But I also know that if your uterus is more forward than most women, you can show early too! Congrats!
